Oh how we hate'm ..... a review

we can spray and dip and put on stop on treatments but it never fails you'll always find one of the nasty buggers attached:mad: All I can say it has been a bad year for ticks

well here is a little tool that makes that nasty job easier and safer for your dog as you will not be pushing any of the blood they have ingested and possibly infected back into your dog.
This has worked better then anything else I have tried.

I will be ordering a couple more one for the trailer and one at the house and one in the 4 wheeler. cheap enough


Tick Twister

[remmy]

Everything I have ever read said that you should never twist a tick out for fear of breaking off head. How does this manage the task without breaking off the head?

[kninebirddog]

the way you slide it on it will not allow the head to detach as where this gets to is right to the mouth of the tick so when you twist your twisting the barbs of the ticks mouth out of the dog the ticks are all in tact and alive and how you have pulled them out you have done the most important thing and that is not doing anything to push the infected blood back into the dog or causing any pain to the tick to agitate it to regurgitate the blood back into the dog

when you use it have an empty water bottle handy to put the ticks in after you have pulled them then spray some insecticide in there when you're done toss in trash can

This is interesting. Thanks for posting. We have major tick problems here in NJ.

Sounds interesting to me too. Don't think I really squeeze them when I take them off, but gsp always gets a scabbed bump within a day afterwards. Maybe she would have that reaction anyway, or maybe it's my technique. But this sounds like something to give a try.

I pulled a cluster off of 3 ticks the other day was able to get all three at one time and in checking today on my female that spot yes has a bump but it isn't all red and agitated/infected as it normally seems after the old fashion pulled way. I check her every time she goes out now as she has a new litter of pups and I am not putting chemicals on her for a while.

I HATE TICKS

that A to z vet supply has some pretty decent prices and if you look you can figure out how to buy stuff which one way needs a vets subscription order another and you can get with out a subscription

but make sure what your treating for

[birddogger]

I am definately going to get this. Also I have not seen this site before. Looks like a good one.
Thanks for the info.
